Pros

Nice working environment and experiment conditions, opportunities to learn a lot of knowledge and seminars. Largest RTDS system in the world for power system simulation

Cons

Now if you need technician's help for building the experimental setup, the funding will be charged. We cannot do many thing due to the safety issue, but in fact we are also electrical engineer and passed the safety training.

Pros

I had a job and could read my books/draw during down time.

Cons

Horrible management. Incredibly aloof staff that does not take POC employees seriously. Also, multitude of microaggressions and straight up racism, Plain attempts of treating their staff without compassion and also putting their staff and students in harm's way during FSU's 2025 school shooting. Staff was told to keep working during an active shooting and even after people had been pronounced dead. This is not simply a testing center issue but a systematic concern of FSU's departments. Pay is also mediocre and only went up recently because of consistent complaints from the employees--not because they wanted to. Plenty of inappropriate behaviors were present while I was working there from upper management. Fawning, favoritism, power trips, blurring boundaries, etc. Parking is awful.
